This bike is named here Genesis SuperMoto and KMF by its respective importers, and differs only in color and decoration between them. I have only ridden it (The Genesis one) to the extent of 300 km by far, and am really pleased with it. The only problem I had is probably my fault: I was in the process of changing the original handlebar (which I advise, in terms of getting more strength from a reputable aftermarket firm) when I noticed that the little pin of the switch in the left lever bracket (clutch lever) was missing, so, that device that prevents you from starting it in gear without disengaging the clutch is rendered useless. I should have checked that in the sales room prior to choosing that particular bike, due the fact that the electrical componentes have no warranty. But, so far, I do not feel hindered by it because I hope I will never attempt to start it in gear. I have read mostly good reports in some forums about it, but also some horror stories about broken third gear, broken sprocket screws and loose spokes. Any of you have any experience about those subjects? A very good mechanic of my aquaintance also told me that some times that things happen, in his own experience. Sorry for a message so long in my first attempt. A friendly salute to you all. Keep the wheel side up!:
IN HONDURAS:
I just took my KMY ZX200 in for the 1,500 km checkup on tuesday. I noticed some spokes loose on the rear wheel and asked them to check them. On Friday I was riding and had a blowout on the rear wheel at speed. It was a little nerve racking but got it stopped okay. One of the spokes had come loose and went down into the rim, bursting the tube, The end of the spoke that attaches to the hub was the only piece (approx. 1 inch) that was not down inside the rim. Since rims and tubes are not under warranty, I expect I will have to pay for this. Does not seen right to me, but am glad to be alive!
